Driving Licences

Due to changes in the law, it is no longer possible for Danish nationals who have residence in the UK to either apply for a Danish duplicate driving licence or to have the existing one changed to the new credit-card-type EU model.

Receipt from the local police stating that your licence has been reported lost

A letter stating where, when and how it was lost

A copy of your passport

This service is free of charge.

Your application for a British Driving Licence, together with the relevant documents, should then be sent to: Driver & Vehicle LIcensing Agency (DVLA), Swansea in a Special Delivery envelope (available from the Post Office). A self-addressed Special Delivery envelope should be enclosed for the safe return of your documents. You may instead choose to apply in person through a local DVLA Office (see leaflet with application form for further details).
